Typical Uses of Scripting

Here's a list of the types of things you can do with client-side scripting without a round trip to the server:

access the value of a cell
set the value of a cell
raise an event when a specific value is entered into a cell
test if the user has changed the values in the Spread cells (no matter what cell)
determine if the active cell is in edit mode
warn the user if they fail to fill in a particular cell and allow them to go back and fill it in or leave it blank and continue
find the column of the active cell and change the background color of that column’s header
